No but:
	# pgrep nm-applet

If it's not running, start it from the command line, it doesn't auto-start
like most deamons, no idea why:
	# nm-applet &

No idea how XFCE auto-starts programs. 

I start "saved" sessions in KDE, it auto starts nm-applet for me.

Nit: KDE should really order the startup, my IM's (pidgin and skype) and
firefox often run before the network is up, best if they would start
sometime after nm-applet (even if those apps auto-wait for a network to be
up, I think they slow down nm-applet).
